Through a simple meditation, she is able to assist each family member in identifying his or her weaknesses, fears, habits, addictions, and personality traits. With inspirational, down-to-earth guidance and loving support, Gloria offers timeless advice to every type of family member, including men and women with careers, stay-at-home morns, single parents, teenagers, college kids, and senior citizens.Through the problems and experiences of this family, readers will learn to strengthen their ownfamily bonds, and in doing so, prepare to live their own independent, spiritually fulfilling lives.
